Christopher Lee and a bunch of other Hammer rep stalwarts go through the motions professionally enough, though this isn't strictly speaking a horror movie (much talk of floggings, hangings, and tongues being cut out, though) - the 'village under foreign occupation' theme gives it the feel of a Second World War movie, weirdly enough. Decent sword fights, quite good production values - in the end it passes the time agreeably enough.

Usual strong Hammer cast, polished production values, lush James Bernard score - topical (for the time) subtext about the generation gap, and the depiction of Dracula as an avenging angel of darkness is an interesting new twist on a character who seemed in danger of running out of things to do. Dracula was originally supposed to be reincarnated as Ralph Bates, but the distributors insisted they get Lee back, much against his will as usual.
